The book guides the therapist through the selection of participants and the main phases of cognitive therapy: education, identification of automatic thoughts using the ABC method, identification of schemas through the vertical arrow method, challenging negative thinking by objective and logical analysis, countering negative beliefs, deconditioning any associated autonomic nervous system responses, and maintaining healthy thinking by means of cognitive techniques.
This new edition covers developments in the theory of cognitive therapy, a greater focus on anxiety, group and individual process issues and case formulation. A new chapter deals with specific group issues such as suicidal ideation and acting out. The appendix of course materials will also be available to download on a supporting website.
